COLOSSALCON TEXAS 2024 MINERALBLU COSPLAY COVERAGE

LONG THAI

The concept of Colassalcon immediately sold me at “swimsuit Comic-Con,” and it had me for life after I got a look at all the incredible cosplay at the event. The Texas-based con took place this August, spread out across three days at the Kalahari Resorts in Round Rock. As such, most of the costumes on display were swimsuit-adjacent or beach-themed, offering up everything from Beetlejuice in a Hawaiian shirt to a shirtless medieval Mandalorian.

Not every attendee was in swimwear, however. We got some really impressive, traditional cosplay of iconic Overwatch characters, a Resident Evil baddie, and a Jedi Jesus. There was a rather, um, sexy take on Alien, a needy streamer, and more.

Scroll through to see our absolute faves of the long weekend, and try to hold onto summer for a little bit longer.
